a great way to "tire" your dog out so it doesn't destroy your home is EXERCISE!

we board dogs and can tell you that it is usually the small dogs that cause problems. owners think of them as "children" not dogs and this can create a whole mess of problems. the small dogs are often allowed to cause chaos and bark incessantly because they are small. there's no way an owner would put up with a ridgeback (absolutely LOVE these dogs!) causing such mayhem!

good luck!

Hi Carang,

Don't worry I don't plan to get a pram for him as although hes a baby hes not a spoil brat so he needs to get on his little feet and walk or run instead of being taken everywhere without moving himself.

Where do you work? You do boarding? I am actually looking for a place for my naughty little one to stay when I go home to UK to visit my family at the end of June. I want him to stay some where where he will get looked after properly and not like some boarding places that only give them a little crate to stay in with no human contact or exercise at all. I need a friendly place where he would have a great vacation himself when I am on vacation myself. Please recommend if you know anywhere. I'm looking in advance because I want to find a best place for him.

Thanks

To: Alby,

Thanks for all the information you have provided me. She does talk to him sometimes and somehow he does friendly bark back at her like they are having a conversation, just that she is not visically having contact with him. Hope to keep in touch with you all that have provided me with great advice and info. I have had dogs in the house before but they were all grown up now that I have a little pup its like learning to be a mum!

Most Vets recommend about 6 months old, but a lot of shelters will do it as early as they can, so they can re-home them ASAP. There's no maximum age for desexing, but it's easier and quicker and safer when your pet is young.

i would have said 6 months as well...
